BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The Israeli army said Sunday that a soldier "whose identification process is yet to be completed" is named Oron Shaul, two days after Hamas' militant wing announced the capture of a soldier they said was named Shaul Aron.

"Sergeant Oron Shaul, a combat soldier of the Golani brigade, 21 years old from Poria is the soldier whose identification process is yet to be completed," the statement said.
